problem with controller

I wanted to remove the steering wheel to make the controller have left handed steering. However, for some reason the screw would not come out and now it's worn out. The screw driver will no longer grip it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Either get a larger screw driver and push really hard....lol it always works for me or get a small dremel drill bit and drill it out then use a xmods screw witha small washer on it to compensate for the lost screw.

Yeah, do yourself a favor and buy some hardened-tip screwdrivers, and always use the right size (biggest possible one that doesn't slip). Haveing used crappy tools for years, I've found that good ones make all the difference

I had actually tried the larger screwdriver idea before I posted here, but it didn't work at the time because the screwdriver kept slipping. After reading the responses I got here, it finally occurred to me that I should actually wear out the screw even more so that a bigger screwdriver would fit. Everything works now! Thanks guys!
